A car's air filter consists of a housing and a filter element
The air filter is installed on the right side of the engine compartment.
We remove the filter housing during repairs or to approach other elements of the vehicle's power plant.
We replace the air filter element after 20,000 km of the car.
But it is desirable to reduce this period depending on the operating conditions of the car (dustiness of the area).
Between element changes, if possible, blow out the air filter with compressed air.
The filter element can be replaced without removing the filter housing.
If the air filter is clogged, black smoke will come out of the exhaust pipe, the fuel will not completely burn out in the combustion chambers of the engine.
As a result, engine power will be reduced, fuel consumption will increase.
